The State of Youth 2: Inequality, Insecurity and Transitions to Adulthood in the UK

January 22 @ 10:00 am - 4:15 pm

Recent years have seen increasing concerns about the situation and prospects of youth in the UK and across Europe. The Great Recession and subsequent austerity policies focus attention on the pressing challenges facing young adults in making successful transitions across Europe. Nevertheless, systematic, interdisciplinary research evidence on these issues remains sparse.

This is the second in a series of one-day seminars that aims showcase contemporary research on these themes. By bringing together established scholars, newer researchers working at PhD and postdoctoral levels, and community and civil society organisations, we seek to explore some critical questions in contemporary youth studies on inequality, insecurity, and their impacts for young adults in the UK today.
